The concept of "rewilding" involves restoring ecosystems to their natural state from "summary" of The Sixth Extinction (10th Anniversary Edition) by Elizabeth Kolbert
"The concept of 'rewilding' is gaining traction among conservationists as a way to address the loss of biodiversity caused by human activities. Rewilding involves restoring ecosystems to their natural state by reintroducing species that have been extirpated from a particular area. This process is not just about protecting individual species, but about re-establishing the intricate web of relationships that make up a healthy ecosystem. In many cases, rewilding involves bringing back apex predators like wolves or big cats, which play a crucial role in regulating the populations of other species. By reintroducing these predators, conservationists hope to restore a more balanced ecosystem where each species has a role to play. This can have a cascading effect, leading to the recovery of other species that were once in decline. One of the key ideas behind rewilding is that nature knows best. By allowing ecosystems to function without human interference, we can help them recover from the damage that has been done. This means stepping back and letting nature take its course, rather than trying to micromanage every aspect of an ecosystem's functioning. However, rewilding is not without its challenges. Introducing new species into an ecosystem can have unintended consequences, and there is always a risk that things may not go as planned. Conservationists must carefully consider the potential impacts of rewilding projects and monitor their progress to ensure that they are having the desired effect. Despite these challenges, rewilding offers a promising way forward for conservation efforts. By restoring ecosystems to their natural state, we can help protect biodiversity and ensure the long-term health of our planet. It is a bold and ambitious approach, but one that may be necessary in the face of the ongoing biodiversity crisis."
